The decision of the Dauphin court today .aeans that there will be no Republican candidate for Congress on the Luzerne county ticket at he fall election, the limit of time now having passed for the filing of party certificates of nomination. It means more than thi3. Early in the present contest Congressman Palmer made it plain that, In the event of the decision of the courts being against him, he would n\)t stand as an independent candidate for Congress. Today, after learning of the decision of the court, lie reiterated this declaration, which means that he ta completely out of the contest. Since he cannot be the candidate of his party for re-election to Congress, ho will not be a candidate at all. The statement this afternoon in which the Congressman renews this declaration is as follows: The bridesmaids were: Miss Grace Law and Miss Gladys Watklns, of Scranton. The bcHt man was Stanley ft. Gage, of Chicago, a brother of the bridegroom, and the ushers were William Gage, of Chicago; Andrew W. Newberry, Clarence Myers and Ralph Proctor, of New York, and Edward F. Ryman, of Wilkesbarrc. The statement Is bitter, (rank and breathes a spirit of rebellious protest against business and social systems, of which she says she Is a victim.

The only thing that seemed to save the prosecution was the faet that the chart of Mrs. Brouwer's condition which the nurse kept contradicted her testimony.

Drunk. Harrisburg, Oct. 11.—The Dauphin county court this morning handed down an opinion in the Palmer-Cobleigh controversy which decides that there exists 110 vacancy such as might be filled by the county committee. "SHveira departed from Havana on Tuesday, Oct. 2, iu one of his own steamers, named the Carmelina, with New York as his ostensible destination. In local publications he announced ills Intention of going to New York for a vacation of several months, and in letters and cables to Mr. Ceballos he declared his purpose of coming to New York to personally present his accounts to the lirm and deliver the balance in hand. by I lie People's Coal A horrible tragedy occurred last night In Taylor, Lackawanna county. While in a drunken frenzy, John Parker, a miner, shot his wife dead, and then attempted to take his own life, but inflicted only a harmless flesh wound. Company Testimony that may go far toward invalidating the million-dollar will of the late Scranton millionaire, J. Ij. Crawford, presented for probate by his nephew. George Schooley, was offered in the court yesterday afternoon. This was In substance that the paper n which the alleged will was written, while bearing the letterhead of the People's Company, of which Crawford was President, and being similar in ther respects, was of a different quality from that always used by the firm. Miss May Llpplncott, a nurse at the bedside of the dying woman, declared, "I saw Dr Brouwer take two powders from the portion of his medicine chest where he kept his strychnine and prepare a hypodermic which he asked use to give her." Secondly, that even though there were such a vacancy a certificate of nomination was not signed by authorized persons. "Deeply and Truly Religioua." The tragedy occurred at the Parker home, which is alongside the culm dump of the Taylor mine, on what is known as Taylor flats. The shooting occurred about 8:30 o'clock, in the summer kitchen adjoining the main part of the house. "She can appreciate a good story and also tell one; not a bit prudish. At the same time she la deeply und truly religious. not pious. The point in this is that while Mr. Heffernan may have had authority to sign the nomination certificate. Secretary CJuscott was not authorized to sign a certificate of nomination. "Very vivid imagination; fair literary qualifications; a student of psychology and possesses unusual psychic powers herself. Contradictory Testimony. Left For Part* Unknown Miss Uuu Dudley, another nurse who cared for Mrs. Brouwer, admitted under eross examination, "The bitter taste of the peptonized nlllk, which I testified was caused by the presence of a deadly drug, may have been due to the length of time which the milk stood in the icebox."

According to of R. E. Prendergast, a stationer and expert, who'supplies the company, the Schooley will Is written on French bond, while the kind always used by the company Is Scotch linen. "Pophalris the conventlort and delegate system needed this illustration to satisfy all people of Its utter rottenness. Thanks be to God, we have seen the last boodle convention and the last boodle delegate. Next year the people will have something to say about who their candidates shall be."

From tills contradictory testimony both sides claimed thnt they had extracted partial victories when the day's session of the trial closed. Prendergast declared he never saw French bond used for letterheads In Scranton. He also stated that the type, while similar, was several shades different.

"She can harilly add up a column of figures without making a mistake, but she can write a good story. Ever since the Brouwer case became the most absorbing topic of discussion In this county every one wondered what position Dr. Cate would take. Cate was an old friend of Mrs. Brouwer. He had been her physician for more than ten years before her marriage. When in September, lfHD5, she became suddenly ill Cate, who lived In Lakewood, was sent for. He saw her several times In her last illness, and It was he who signed the death certificate giving acute Brlght's disease as the cause of death. Several weeks after Mrs. Brouwer died Cate suddenly disappeared. Three months afterward he found himself In a sanitarium in Goshen, N. Y., and be said that he could not explain how he got there. His mind, he said, was a complete blank as to what happened bebetween the time he left Lakewood and when he recovered his faculties In Goshen.

"The power and authority of this committee to make the nomination Is attempted to be sustained by the minutes of the convention, recorded In a book provided for that purpose, by the secretary of the convention, as required by the rules of the party. Working himself up to a fury, Parker pulled a 38-caiibre revolver from his hip pocket. His wife was in the act of setting something before him, and. towering above her, with the muzzle of the gun not a foot away, he fired, the first bullet crashing through her brain.

Mrs. Hulda Crawford, widow of the dead millionaire, denied on the stand that Schooley had ever told her there was a will, or showed her one, as he claimed under oath. She testified that he had endeavored to borrow $28,000 from her after her husband's death.

"We therefore are compelled to find as a fact that the convention never passed the motion recorded In the minute book, giving full power to the county committee to fill all vacancies on the ticket, and that the motion that actually was passed by the convention, limits thp pawer of the county committee to fill vacancies that arose by death or resignation only, and the commfftce therefore was not empowered to imafte and certify this certificate of nomination in which it apeared that the nomination was made to fill the vacancy occasioned by the failure of the convention to 'ominate a candidate for this office.
